    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Kapenguria-Lodwar Road, otherwise, classified as A1 measures approximately 259 kilometres. Feasibility studies and designs are ongoing and the road will be considered for construction by the Government with the support of development partners upon completion and submission of the reports. The feasibility studies and design of the whole road is expected to be completed by June, 2010, under the funding with the World Bank. (b) Indeed, the road has not been neglected. The section between Kapenguria and Marich Pass, about 65 kilometres, has been maintained to bitumen standard. My Ministry has been carrying out maintenance works on the Marich Lodwar Road such as bush clearing and drainage works. However, due to increased traffic to Southern Sudan, the condition of the road has deteriorated. Therefore, major rehabilitation work is required. (c) Wakor Bridge was swept by the floods in the year 2003, but a drift was constructed as a by-pass to enable passage of traffic. However, the Ministry is carrying out the design of a new bridge and will be considered for tendering for construction as soon as the designs are completed."
